Excerpt from the article:
“When I got out of my car, chickens clucked in the cold air by the barn. I turned on my camera and shot some photos. Janet, my interviewee, said hello from a side entrance under the porch.

I was so busy taking in the frosty view of the mountain and chickens that I never heard her open the door.
We greeted each other, and as soon as I stepped into the old renovated house, I was wrapped up in her story…”
